4,1 Tipo de documento tick the NIE box and in the certificado tick either as a resident or non resident
4,2 Motivos (reason) Economic, Professional or Social (probably economic if buying a property or social if visiting)
4.3 Lugar de presentacion Where you are applying - Foreigners' Office, National Police station or consular office (if applying in UK)
4.4 Situacion en Espana, Estancia if your stays are up to 90 days and Residencia if taking up residency.
You then need to make an appointment at a foreigners office or national police station using this form https://icp.administracionelectronica.gob.es/icpco/volverPortada
Select the province Alicante then, on the next page, National Police procedures Assignment of NIE. This also gives you a link to the form 790 012 (in English but will print our in Spanish) to pay the tax at a bank which is about 12 euro or so but it will tell you how much once you've selected NIE,
And then wait for an appointment to become available which could take some time so keep trying at different times of the day.
If in UK you can apply at a Spanish consular office in London, Manchester or Edinburgh.
Don't pay 400 euro to do it for goodness sake.
Although I don't need an NIE, your so helpful, well done
